Re: Must migrate - new platform for GTD and Exchange and other apps?

If my T3 died and I did not have a current total backup it would literally take me a few days to rebuild everything!  My T3 will sing and dance and do most anything!  Well, almost!  But it's taken my years to get it that way and I'm afraid it will take me a long time to move to a new OS and accomplish the same!

You have an absolute "Must" requirement and I have many "certainly need it todos" that make it really tough to move on.  But is sure seems to me that the Palm OS is dead or dying.  I at least see the end is coming.  Do I jump now and start swimming again or wait and go down with then ship?

I love graffiti!  But it started when there was so little room to work with.  Now we have large touch screens and slide out keyboards, but gosh!  Why can't we still keep graffiti?  I know some long time heavy Palm users have migrated to the iPhone, but what do the long time users of DateBK do?  (Yes, I'm asking that over there too).

By the way, I know some of you already participate in both of these groups and know there are some very sharp folks in both:

I've already started a similar thread in the DateBK group and since  Pimlical is the DateBK programmer's answer to the demise of the Palm OS I will be starting one there as well.  For those who do not know "CESD", I've found him to be the best Palm OS programmer there is.  Not offense to any other programmers!  If they are half as good as him then they are still awesome.  Pimlical will eventually be my salvation on some smartphone platform, but I don't know which yet.
